Sneakily using macros
In a code golf challenge, you are tasked to use as small bytes as possible. However, it's considered unacceptable in a language like C to use macros to hide code or shorten it without including the macro itself.
An example:
C (clang), 5 bytes
hello
In other words, it's a messy way to shorten code, and therefore, a challenge loophole.
